- FRENCH ONION SOUP
-
- Prepares croutes:
-
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, smashed & chopped fine
- 6 - 8 slices 1" thick of crusty bread
-
- Combine olive oil & garlic. Brush over crusty bread on both
- sides
- Bake at 375F. for 10 - 20 min. to toast thoroughly
-
- Soup:
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. onions, sliced thin (about 3 1/2 c.)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
-
- Combine butter & olive oil in frypan, Saute onions on
- low heat for 20 - 30 min. until golden brown, stirring
- occasionally.
-
- Sprinkle over: 4 tsp. all-purp. flour.
- Cook, stirring for 1 - 2 minutes.
- Add:
- 4 cups beef stock - fresh if possible or
- made with Knorr beef cube
- salt to taste (careful!)
- fresh ground pepper to taste
-
- Ladle into 4 oven-proof bowls. Place 1 or 2 croutes on top.
- Sprinkle 1/2 c. grated swiss cheese among the 4 bowls over
- croutes.
- Place under broiler just until bubby & slightly brown.
- Watch carefully!
-
- Note: some people prefer to put the croutes (or croutons if
- you prefer) in the bowl first then pour the soup over - then
- sprinkle the cheese. I find this makes it too soggy but
- chaque un a son gout.
- Enjoy!
